Answers:

The moods with bipolar usually last about 2 weeks or more at a time. Many doctors are very reluctant to diagnose something like bipolar to a teenager due to hormonal influences which should die down as you become an adult. If you do go to a doctor don't be surpised if they put off a diagnose for a long time due to your age. I'm in my early 20's and have problems with things like irritability, anger and inconsistant moods and emotions so it is possible these problems could continue past your teenagers years but it could be a matter of waiting. Also those issues don't mean bipolar, there could be other problems. The moods with bipolar don't change that quickly. You sound a bit like me and I'm not bipolar, although I have never been diagnosed with anything by anybody, I know I am not bipolar cause I know the symptoms.



Not very detailed description so I wouldn't want people to judge off of that. Cause honestly it's sounding like bipolarity but I don't want to jump to conclusions...



What you are describing does not sound at all like Bi-polar disorder.

Definitely just a teen thing, as you are not showing signs of being bi-polar.



It is most likely just being a teen.But if your behavior gets worse or you should become unable to sleep for days at a time you then need to ask a doctor.



just a teen thing, if you were bipolar you'd have gotten into trouble from your swings by now.



sometimes it can be a teen thing be im 15 and i have bipolar but no one can tell lmfao



That's just being a teenager. Don't worry, you'll get over that feeling. :)



teen thing :) bipolar is quite rare in teenagers i think :) x



Just a teen
